Darren DayDarren DayDon't be calling Darren Day a love rat.

Apparently, it was all the fault of the "diddy Dazza" who lives in his pants.

According to Darren, his past reputation for being a bit of a scoundrel with the ladies was nothing to do with him.

It was all down to his, ahem, little fella.

"I tried," Darren told Now magazine of his failed battles to stay monogamous, "but I just couldn't keep it in my trousers."

Got a mind of its own has it, Darren?

Darren says he's a reformed man now, happily married to musical actress Stephanie Dooley with a 10-month old daughter, Madison, and a new TV role as a baddie in The Bill.

But can we really believe Darren is blameless and it's all down to his todger?

"I wasn't guilty of everything I was accused of," Darren added, "but I did deserve a lot of it because I wasn't faithful." 

That's better.
